4. Draw a visible line that will indicate the thickness or

Isometric drawing is a 3D representation of a drawing.


It has 3 visible views such as the top view, front view,
and side view.
Steps in sketching Isometric Drawing
1. Draw a vertical axis. Take a look at the drawing below.
2. Draw the left and right axis.
3. Determine the width and the length of the box and
then draw a vertical line.
4. Draw a left and right axis.
5. Project a line parallel to the left and right axis.
6. Label the box to determine the top, front, and right side
view.
Two methods of Dimensioning
Two methods of indicating dimensions in common use
are:
1. unidirectional, where dimensions are drawn parallel
to the bottom of the drawing, that is horizontal, and
2. aligned, where the dimensions are drawn parallel to
the related dimension line and are readable from the
bottom or right hand side of the drawing.

FUNCTIONAL DIMENSIONS
Some dimensions are essential for the proper operation
or function of a component. These are called functional
dimensions and are always inserted in the component
detail drawing. Functional dimensions may also be
tolerance if necessary to ensure a proper working
relationship with mating arts on assembly.
OVERALL DIMENSIONS
When a length consists of a number of dimensions, an
overall dimension may be shown outside the dimensions
concerned (see Fig. 2.1). The end projection lines are
extended to allow this. When an overall dimension is
shown, however, one or more of the dimensions that
make the overall is omitted. This is done to allow for
variations in sizes that may occur during production. The
omitted dimension is always a non-functional dimension,
that is, one which does not affect the function of the
product. Functional dimensions are those necessary for
the operation of the product, these dimensions are
essential.

LINEAR DIMENSIONS
These should preferably be expressed in millimetres.
It is not necessary to write the symbol ՛mm՛ every
after dimension. A general note such as ՛all AUXILIARY DIMENSIONS

If the overall length dimension is important, then one of
the intermediate dimensions is redundant. For example,
dimension 42 is from the left-hand end (figure 2.2). This

continuous, thick type line, for example:

DIMENSIONS NOT COMPLETE


Where a dimension is defining a feature that cannot be
completed inserted on a drawing (for example, for a large
distance or diameter) the free end is terminated in double
arrowhead pointing in the direction the dimension would
take if it could be completed.

It would be great if you practice your skills! On the next


page, draw an isometric and orthographic drawing.
Following the scaling of 1:100 mts (1mm is equal to 100
mm), this scale is used to minimize or shrink the actual
size of a particular drawing project. If you will not follow
the scale you can use the dimension not to scale
